I am considering a tummy tuck after I lose about 50lbs. Are there any certain exercises I could be doing now to help with the surgery and speed the recovery? I am currently walking about 3.5 miles for 60 minutes a day.

Answer: Are there particular exercises that will aid recovery after a Tummy Tuck? Hi there- There are no specific exercises that would demonstrably improve or speed your recovery from a tummy tuck procedure. Having said that, however, I do think that being in generally good health and in good shape does make the recovery from any surgery simpler for the average patient. You're on the right track with your exercise regimen- keep it up, but don't worry that you might be doing the wrong exercises or that a different regimen might somehow make your recovery or outcome better.

Answer: Weight loss prior to tummy tuck The most important thing you can do is stick to your plan of losing the 50 pounds. Walking 3 or 4 miles a day is a great way to help you lose weight. There are no particular exercises I would recommend. Stick to your plan and good luck1
